I think this is great advice for me because I'm not looking to make a living from writing. I just have this strong urge like if I don't put in writing all the fucked up shit I encountered or read about, if I take all of those things to grave without telling it I feel like I'm going to lose it.
but the main problem is getting down to it. Anything I write I throw it away because it seems shit, like why the fuck would anybody spend their life reading bullshit.
I even considered buying a typewriter. Not to be hip but because typing on the computer is sooo distracting. HN and reddit is to blame and Youtube. God I watch so much youtube....
so I resorted to writing short quips here and there online for shits and giggles from the replies...that seems to give me that rush...but I've still failed to become the stereotypical edgy, self absorbed, miserable writer.
